The Problem

I am trying to use awareness to teach young people that their actions can effect themselves and/or their family for the rest of their life. Young people sometimes feel they are invincible and don't make the right decisions but I want to remind them that even if they do make a mistake and have to pay for it, they do not know who else might be involved. I was infected with HIV/AIDS by my mother and now I have to live with the choices that she made. I still love her with all my heart but I want people to think twice about what they do with their life because you do not know who else might be affected/infected.

Plan of Action

I want to host a couple shows, including poets, musicians, and speakers, about how life choices can affect everyone around you.
